that was a typo. I am using it as a global variable: _finalPhotoTosend. Either way, that's not the problem. I need to figure out a solution in regards to getting the NSData from the object.

can you edit your question to show you how set the "finalPhotoToSend" property?

just to be sure, I did include the statement: sendFriendsVC.finalPhotoToSend = _subLayer.contents; But I will edit the question and add the full IBAction that contains this statement.

Oh yeah, there I see it. So when you do "_subLayer.contents = (id)[UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef].CGImage", you're setting ".contents" to a CGImage and not a UIImage. And you can't do "UIImageJPEGRepresentation" off a CGImage. No wonder you're getting that exception.

I understand, but then why am I able to store this CGImage in the UIImage object finalPhotoToSend? Even though I'm storing it in a UIImage, is it technically still a CGImage?
